As in any interview, first impressions are extremely important. A neat appearance, professional manner, and positive attitude are key elements to securing a position aboard a yacht. Don’t wear flip flops or sunglasses or a bathing suit under your clothes.
Every Captain/owner is different, and every boat has a different style, but it is best not to take any chances. Make sure you are punctual and have turned your phone off. Listen to the Captain, and show that you are interested in the position by asking questions about the yacht, your duties, the crew, the itinerary, etc. Be honest about your skills and positive about the experience you have gained. Above all remember to smile!
